- Would this be worth trying to sell on Ebay or Amazon?

Maybe, does it run?? If you try on ebay, I'd try listing under "mid-century", "retro" or if they have a "restoration" class. You can always go to "advanced search" and looked under "completed" or "sold" auctions if any have sold that way, use the company name and model number if possible. Good luck!!
Have any other of those fans sold on ebay? Do the search on ebay, check "sold" box, you will have an accurate answer. Mike

^^^^ What Miked said. Ebay recent solds tells you all you need to know. How many sold, what sold and for how much. Do the homework grasshopper and the answer you will find.

PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

A search for "VINTAGE BOX FANS" on eBay shows 113 sold over the past 90 days. I wasn't able to find FrostPaire, and most that sold were in better condition then the one you have. I usually list items for 30 days and see if they sell. If there's a decent number of views/watchers then I might relist it for another 30 days. Adjusting the price at that point might help it sell. After 60 days I usually scrap it, or look for another avenue to sell it. I've been fortunate to sell just about every item I've listed on ebay, even if there were no past sales or very few. My guess is it would probably sell if it was restored and cleaned up, but might be one of those items you have to sit on for awhile.

you certainly can list it and ACCEPT offers...there is a way to do that during the listing process. Put $X and it will show you will look at offers. I typically set it where it auto denies offers under $X and the rest I generally push back a bit....ie I come down and they have to come up...most people won't give you what the max they will pay is. Normal sales process.

Thanks Guys, I'm surely not gonna Scrap it.. I would feel like I was committing a sin against 50's or 60' Americana Box Fans or something if I did. Never knew about checking the "Sold" box am gonna look now Thx everyone
P.S. Its Frosti Aire. There's no P that's just a scratch near the i in Frosti. Ok I just looked. Non have been sold but this for sure is a 50's fan because that's the color I keep seeing for similar fans made in the 50's Turquoise.
